*Some of the moments in Scratch's videos qualify. In the Barry recording, after spending the whole game talking about the horrible things he's planning to do to the people Alan loves, and the nightmare inducing actions he's done against the people in Night Springs, he declares that he'll keep Barry alive....[[EvilIsPetty so he can fire him.]]
-->'''Mr. Scratch:''' Yeeeep.

* At the end of the tutorial level, the mysterious voice guiding Alan spouts a random phrase and asks if Alan understands, only to ignore him when he says no. The last time he shows up, he tells Alan that he "will let you have your dream back now." It's the delivery that makes it hilarious.

Basically he goes on a killing spree at Remedy Entertainment's offices, {{Squee}}s over all the good reviews he's gotten, and then enslaves the game's lead writer (and a potted plant) so he can force them to write more games about him.
